Weapon Skills
Hello folks.
I hate myself, ideas keep coming to my mind and I always spend lots of seconds here writing stuff, which I doubt Ankama will even notice! ANYWAYS, there we go again. This one is about weapons.

I hate myself, ideas keep coming to my mind and I always spend lots of seconds here writing stuff, which I doubt Ankama will even notice! ANYWAYS, there we go again. This one is about weapons.
Fighting With Weapons - DOFUS
I've played DOFUS for a long time and what I noticed about weapons there is that they're a must. Most classes lack close combat spells exactly to offer close combat weapons a chance, in fact, that is the reason why bows and wands aren't very used on Dofus - having a weapon, means having a close combat weapon. The skills will increase the damage that your weapons do by 35% during a short duration.
Implementing such a system to Wakfu would be very very risky, since there we actually need to use our spells to increase their level.

Fighting With Weapons - WAKFU
Wakfu weapons have not the same purpose as in Dofus. They're useful if you want to level a single spell or to reduce your class limitations. Adding the skill system to this game would unbalance most classes and spells. However, since spells only have one hundred levels, it would be much more wise if such feature was enabled only at level 100, extending the game-play to 200 levels! Adding new movements, new ways of doing damage and at same time motivating people to level, differently from Dofus, where you have no new spells between level 100 and 199.
The big problem there is, there are two ways of adding skills: restricting them to a class main weapon or diversifying the abilities. The first one will force people to use specific weapons, therefore it will be easy enough to add such feature. The second one will make the game more complex and give a wide variety of abilities, therefore it will be difficult to be added.
Despite of being difficult, my suggestion will be based on second possibility. The game maximum level now is 100, giving Ankama enough time to create something - better than we have in Dofus - for epic levels.
Training Weapons:
Training Shovel, Training Hammer, Training Wand, Training Cards, Training Staff, Training One-Handed Sword, Training Two-Handed Sword, Training Bow and Training Daggers.
When you equip them, then next step is start a fight against a Pouch Ingball. This monster has 3000 HP and does nothing, it's a punching bag. Each weapon hits 20 (fixed) and costs 2 AP. Needs level 100 to be used.
Weapon Mastery:
There are two types of mastery:
- Main Weapon Mastery: filled with skills designed for this class.
- Weapon Mastery: filled with skills common for any class.

The Weapon Mastery
After reaching level 100 the weapon window will be enabled. This window has three empty slots, in order to fill them you will have to train with a training weapon that can be crafted by a smith.
Filling a slot means permanently mastering a weapon skill. You can learn up to three skills only and each skill will have it's bonuses and abilities. The weapon skill slots are not going to be flexible in order to bring diversity.

The Skill Points
After reaching level 100 you will gain 1 skill point for each weapon mastery everytime you level. Those points can be used to level your active skills. Each active skill has 10 levels. I only suggested 3 spells so, it should take 130 levels to max them all, it should be more restricted but I do not have time for it now. It's easy enough by adding more points needed to maximize a spell, like the actual support spells.
Active Skills: active skills are movements that can only be used when you are wearing the right type of weapon. Their damage is based on your weapon's damage. They can only be leveled with Skill Points. There are only 3 Active Skills that are learned right after acquiring a mastery.
Passive Skills: passive skills improve the base damage of the weapon you are carrying. The more you use a weapon, higher is the passive skill level.
